COTTAGE PUDDING. One cupful sugar,
two eggs, two cupfuls cream, one pint
flour, one and one-half teaspoonfuls
baking powder. Beat tho eggs aud
sugar together; add cream, -four, with
the powder siftcd in, and pinch OF salt,
mix into smooth batter as for cup cake;
put into long narrow or oval buttcrCd
mold, bake in hot oven over thirty
minutes.
GINGER Pound CAKE. Six cups OF
flour, two cups each of butter, brown
sugar and molasScs, eight eggs, two
tablcspoonfuls each Of cinnamon, ginger
and soda and two nutmcgs; dissolve the
soda in a cup of sour milk Line the
pans with CREASED paper and put brown
paper over the top TO prevent the crust
forming too quickly. Onc.half OF this
recipe can be used with good results
SrrCED OR PIcELED ArPLEs To six
pounds OF the peeled and corcd apples,
take four pounds sugar, one quart of
good cider-vinegar aud tablespoonful
each of ground cloves and cinnamon tied
loosely ina bag and stepped in the vine
gar little while in advance Make
syrup OF the sugar vinegar and spices,
cook IN II the apples until they arc soft,
but not broken at all, then dip them out
into bottles, cover closely and keep them
hot while the syrup Loils down quite
rich; then ill np the bottles with the
syrup and seal. Many use more vinegar
than here suggested, but it makes a more
acid preparation than this recipe, and
might hence bc chosen i'm preference by
lovers of sour fruits.
BLACK BGAV S1UP This popular
soup is made in various WAYS The fol
lowing is very good, and requires less
work than some othc.s: Take one pound
round beef, near the shank half pound
salt pork, and one quart of black beans
Chop the beef and pork, and boil them
with the beans. When partly done, add
n grated carrot and mn onion. Boil
several hours, or until tho beans are
ready TO fall to pieces; then strain
through a soup sieve; rcturn to the ket-
tie, and add salt and pepper to taste, n
couple hard-boiled eg3s in slices, with a
li,tlc sliced lemon; or, omitting these
use "FDycs Heat Eois" in their place.
For making these last, chop cold beef,
veal or lamb, very fine; add su'iicent
ilCur to make it stick together i'm balls
about the size Of walnut. Roll these
in beaten egg then in cracker dus', and
fry until brown. Add the balls 20 the
soup just before it is served upon the
liable.

SILENCE

al know what Silence means ~
IL Is - live alone from day to day,
To listen for a g.lovcd voice alNay;
To yearn aud yoorn and he unsatisiied.
Because thcrc is no loved one hy my side.
This is what Silence means.
To feel soft shadow kisses ON my face;
To miss a long r-dcsircd, dear loved embrace;
To strain the hearing for single word;
To learn the anguish OF hope long deferred
This Is what Silence is
might have music every day in tho vear;
Might hear young voices rising sweet and
clear,
Flinging soft laughter on the summer air;
But since the voice beloved would not be
there
know what Silence means.
To sit in crowds and of them make no part
To feel the sick pain gnawing at my hoart;
To have no hopes no wishes, no desires
Light up the embcrs OF long dead fires
This is what Silence is.
To hear my ochoing corridors repeat
The gho 'tly pattor Of dead children's feet;
To feel them close 20 mo $50 dear. so farm.
And stretching yearning arms, clasp in
empty air
This is what Silence is!

DEATH OF PAUL PETR0vITZ.

Information was received by last
mail from His Majesty's Consul
General at Rome, James Clinton
Hooker Esquire, of the death of
Paul Petrovitz on the 18th June
last. Mr.. Hooker states that Mr..
Petrovitzs arrived in Rome last
autumn with credentials authorizing
him to paint portraits of the King
and Queen of Italy for His Majesty
King Kalakaua. His credentials
having been presented, Their
Majesties sent their photographs to
Mr.. Petrovitz and arranged for a
sitting. His health was failing,
rheumatism being the cause. On
June 18th, Mr.. Hooker called upon
him and found him in very low
condition, He advised medical aid
which Mr.. Petroyitz declined. Mr..
Hooker, however, took with him
DIR. Tideli leading physician, who
pronounced that Mr.. Petrovitz had
trouble with his heart and his blood
was very weak, in fact he was re-
duced to state of anemia, and that
be might die at any moment. Mr..
Hooker remained in attendance with
a nurse, but on the following morn
ing Mr.. Petrovitz died His re-
mains were placed by the Consul in
zinc coffin and deposited in a tenn
poraly vault in the Roman Catholic
cemetery. Mr.. Petrovitz, in many
conversations with Mr.. Hooker, re-
garded Honolulu as his home and
spoke of the King of Hawaii with
deep affection. So far as his papers
were concerned he appeared to be
an American citizen.
When Mr.. Petrovitz left these
islands he had extensive commissions
from Mis- Majesty, but his untimely
death will leave them untitled. AT
the time of his death Mr.. Petrovitz
was about 80 wears of age.

GIN AND ITS USES.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Looking into
the Custom House storehouse the
other day, l observed an immense
pile of green cases. Feeling curious
| inquired what they contained, and
was politely informed-Gin. Re-
aecting for moment, considered
what gin did for the country, and
came to the conclusion that it was
mighty motor in the affairs of Ha-
waii. 1t swells the revenues very
considerably. 1t pays a heavy
license. 1t lubricates the parched
throat of kanaka at luau, and is
an important ingredient in the
seductive cocktail so much called
for by the haole. The fines at the
Police Court would be mil without
gin. 1t fills the gaols, carries the
elections and puts gruff police
man in good humor. 1t helps to
arouse a drowsy sentinel. In fact,
without gin, Hawaii could scarcely
be classed amongst the comfy of
nations. NED.
